Sample rock cycle order questions
Choose the sequence that lists the rock-cycle steps in the correct order. These examples come from the Easy setting; every generated worksheet draws a fresh set.
- Order: a simplified rock-cycle path.
Sediment → Magma → Igneous rock · Magma → Igneous rock → Sediment
- Order: lava hardens at a volcano.
Lava cools → Lava erupts → Igneous rock · Lava erupts → Lava cools → Igneous rock
- Order: sediment becomes solid rock.
Layers build up → Rock forms → Pressure squeezes · Layers build up → Pressure squeezes → Rock forms
- Order: rock is broken down and moved.
Transport → Weathering → Deposition · Weathering → Transport → Deposition
Check the sample answers
- Magma → Igneous rock → Sediment
Magma hardens to igneous rock that breaks into sediment. - Lava erupts → Lava cools → Igneous rock
Erupted lava cools and hardens into igneous rock. - Layers build up → Pressure squeezes → Rock forms
Layers pile up, pressure squeezes, and rock forms. - Weathering → Transport → Deposition
Rock breaks down, is carried, then dropped.
Practice focus
In the rock cycle, rocks change from one form to another through repeating steps. Weathering and erosion break rocks into sediment that is deposited and compacted into sedimentary rock. Heat and pressure make metamorphic rock, and melting then cooling makes igneous rock. Reading these steps in order shows how one rock type becomes another.
Grade placement is a planning guide for choosing practice. The registry records standard-code mappings as unreviewed, so these pages are not a claim of alignment with a national standard.

How this practice can help students
In the rock cycle, rocks change from one form to another through repeating steps. Weathering and erosion break rocks into sediment that is deposited and compacted into sedimentary rock. Heat and pressure make metamorphic rock, and melting then cooling makes igneous rock. Reading these steps in order shows how one rock type becomes another. Generating the page again keeps the same learning goal while changing the questions, so a learner can revisit the skill without repeating the same items.
Review and next steps
Ask the learner to say what made one answer better than the others. Grade placement is a planning guide for choosing practice. The registry records standard-code mappings as unreviewed, so these pages are not a claim of alignment with a national standard.
